Yep, you want to store beans, grains and pasta and other dry goods in glass jars with good tight lids. If you've been stockpiling the little gelpacks that come in shoeboxes, electronics and the like (I have a big bag of 'em now) toss one of them in too, just don't boil it up and eat it by mistake. Save mayo and spaghetti sauce jars, wash them and dry them well and use them for this sort of thing (since you can't use them for home canning--that's a big no no) just make sure that you remove the wet cardboard inner lining of the lid before you screw it back on the jar, or your pasta could take on the smell of old mayo or stale spaghetti sauce over time.
I had a big problem with ant attacks in my cereal cupboard this summer, so I had to empty all the Cheerios and granola and Wheat Chex into glass jars, slip in the label I cut off the box and put the lids on tight so those little SOBs couldn't contaminate any more of my breakfast cereals and granola bars. It wasn't a total bust though, I fed the ant-ruined cereals to my chickens and they pigged out. If chickens could smile...

Hey, this reminds me, store flour and cake mixes and muffin mixes and Bisquick in your freezer, if you have the room. You won't get weevils in them and they won't go stale and icky tasting if you can't use them up fast enough.
